So apparently the wordpress iPad app only let’s you have one blog post In draft form at the same time and i lost what I wrote earlier. Rewrote this from memory

Highlights

The language

• wishes more language enhancements got into java 7
• amazed how many people got stuck at gave 1.4

The Cloud

• plugged netbeans and glass fish even though doesn’t have to anymore
• A redeploy of amazon takes a few minutes because restarting clean. “by contrast” netbeans only takes a few seconds [netbeans is local]
• amazon cloud expensive for baseline use. Suggesting having internal cloud on Eycalptus and using amazon for spillover

The Web

• Is a social experiment. Which is not about tech

Other things

• Hudson is now Jennings and owned by Cloudbees
• Ended with a shout out to the coderanch community being participatory
• I had never see Gosling speak live, he has a good stage presence
